Horacio Matuszyczk's leaders went into the final Apertura matchday with a one-point buffer on Deportivo La Guaira - and despite seeing their match with Petare halted by misbehaving fans, they eventually posted a title-sealing win.

Trujillanos were deemed victors when the game could not be resumed after it was halted in the 54th minute, as they led 2-0 at the Estadio Olimpico de la UCV in Caracas.

Earlier, Johan Osorio put Trujillanos on their way to their first silverware in the top flight with a stunning long-range strike in the eighth minute.

James Cabezas doubled the visitors' advantage, heading home from a corner in the 26th minute.

That was the end to the scoring, with Trujillanos handed a 3-0 default victory, when order could not be restored after a 45-minute wait.
